Reviews and Awards

"These two volumes enable readers to review hundreds of instruments for use in clinical practice with adults, children, couples, and families. The inclusion of the actual instrument after the basic description is really the best feature. The fifth edition is justified because of the updated information it includes and the availability section that has been provided for 98 percent of the listings." --Gary B Kaniuk, Psy.D., Cermak Health Services
